Two high school students have proved the Pythagorean theorem in a way that one early 20th-century mathematician thought was impossible: using trigonometry. Calcea Johnson and Ne’Kiya Jackson, both at ...

In 2022, two high school students created a trigonometric proof of the Pythagorean Theorem—something that’s only ever been accomplished by a few professional mathematicians. Now, a new article not ...

Napoleon’s theorem states that if you erect equilateral triangles on the sides of an arbitrary triangle, the centers of those three equilateral triangles will form an equilateral triangle, too. In ...

Two high school seniors have presented their proof of the Pythagorean theorem using trigonometry — which mathematicians thought to be impossible — at an American Mathematical Society meeting. When you ...

Two young mathematicians, Calcea Johnson and Ne'Kiya Jackson, made headlines with a groundbreaking discovery in mathematics. In 2022, as high school students, they found a new approach to proving ...
